The 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, has called on members of the Kwankwasiyya movement and his political supporters to remain committed to their shared vision.
Kwankwaso made the appeal on Sunday while hosting thousands of supporters and political allies at his residence in Kano during the annual Sallah homage.
In a post on his verified handle, the former Kano State governor emphasised the importance of loyalty and active participation in sustaining the movement.
“Special thanks go to all our party and movement stalwarts, as well as our committed social media lieutenants, for your relentless support, loyalty, and tireless efforts in advancing our shared vision,” he said.
He described the Sallah homage as a longstanding tradition of the Kwankwasiyya movement and expressed appreciation for the large turnout.
“I extend my sincere and heartfelt appreciation to every one of you who took time out of your busy schedules to grace this joyous celebration. Your presence truly made the day special,” he added.
Kwankwaso also acknowledged the presence of prominent political figures at the gathering.
“It was also heartwarming to be joined by the Kano State Deputy Governor, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, alongside our federal and state legislators, as well as former commissioners and government officials in the state,” he said.
He further noted the attendance of national leaders of the NNPP and members of the African Democratic Congress in Kano.
“We were also privileged to welcome the national leadership of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), ably led by our National Chairman, Ahmed Ajuji and Bishop Isaac Idahosa, as well as key stalwarts of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kano, led by Hajiya Naja’atu Muhammad and Hon. Musa Ungogo, the party’s Kano State Chairman,” he stated.
Kwankwaso said the event was further enlivened by the presence of notable political figures, including Peter Obi, Seyi Makinde, and Seriake Dickson.
“The occasion was made even more vibrant and memorable by the presence of Their Excellencies: Peter Obi, Seyi Makinde, and Seriake Dickson, along with their esteemed entourages,” he said.
The NNPP leader also commended entertainers and organisers for their contributions to the success of the event.
“I also wish to express profound gratitude to our talented Kwankwasiyya entertainers… for their unwavering dedication and remarkable contributions to the vibrancy of our movement,” he added.
Kwankwaso noted that the massive turnout reflected unity and continued commitment within the Kwankwasiyya movement.
